Artist description Aggressively heartfelt is the only way to describe Clone Defect. They write structurally complex songs while at the same time keeping them anchored to real world simplicity. They are an incredible and unique band that create a soundscape through powerful walls of harmonized distorted and clean guitars, supported by a pulsing beat and equally impressive drum sounds.

Music Style Heavy Alternative/Progressive Rock

Musical Influences Deftones, Dream Theater, Tool, Incubus, Finger Eleven

Artist History Lead vocalist Lee Miles began a solo project in the fall of 1999 when he met producer/engineer Corey Shay. What came out were eight songs that laid the musical foundation for the band as it began to form slowly, member by member, starting with lead guitarist Brett Norton. One by one new members were chosen, secondly Daniel Jones (Drums), Adam Silk (Bass guitar), and Chris Stanton (guitar). All members were chosen based on their incredible talents and wide-ranging influences.
